Nevermind. Your just a number guy, that's OK.

He must have been red hot before the last 10 games to still be over .800 for July.Originally Posted by OH FOY!

PORTLAND:
Another two hits for Duran (remains hot).
Three hits for Dalbec.
Another excellent start from Mata, 5 innings, 2 BB, 8 Ks. Mata is only 20 years old. I just hope DD doesn't trade him--he is the Red Sox best SP prospect in a long time, maybe since Lester? I might be forgetting someone.
Dalbec is at .845 for July. Can we now agree, he is not slumping?

Another two hits for Duran last night, batting average up to .257. If he continues this type of hitting in August, the Red Sox have a new starting CF next year, and Bradley gets traded. Duran will be the 9th hitter in the order, but the Red Sox are going to have an awesome lineup next year and can carry a ninth hitter. Duran will likely struggle for a period of time as he adjusts to major league pitching.
Duran won't hit as many HR as Bradley, but he can match Bradley's batting average and he has more speed than Bradley. Bradley has limited trade value, but due to the dearth of quality CFs, someone will be interested in trading for him. The Red Sox would free up around 10 million in payroll, money that, in turn, can be invested in a free agent starter or reliever.

How the ever living fuck are you touting Duran as a 2020 big league starter when he can barely OPS .600 in AA. You're such a hypocrite ripping prospects outside your organization then ejaculating over any of your own guys making moves. Or in Duran's case, showing a glimmer of life in what has been a lifeless AA experience. Duran may end up a CFer in the majors. But he is ticketed for AA again next year and maybe he ends up as a big league bench bat/speed demon at the end of 2020 if the sox are in the playoff mix. He isn't gonna be a big league regular option until 2021 at the earliest, and that's assuming he doesn't entirely flame out
Hal sucks
Over the last 10 games, Duran has raised his batting average from .229 to .261. He hit .292 for the month of July. If he repeats that in August, I'll go out on a limb and say Duran will be the Red Sox starting CF next year and ninth hitter in the order.
Dalbec promoted to Pawtucket. Lets see how he does after he hit .234 in Double AA. Last night he had 3 K's. in final game, for Portland.
2nd half of season Dalbec is hitting .225, with a .758 OPS in last 41 games.

He did have a .371 OBP with Portland, this year, so the .234 BA is tolerable.
The guy has 52 HRs in his last 814 ABs, including 26 HRs in 470 PAs in AA.
107 XBHs in those 814 ABs.

Got a hit in his first at bat. Ockimey struck out behind him. That ought to be interesting putting those 2 back-to back. Lot of K's.
Another nice pitched game by Denyi Reyes, 7 innings, 5 hits, 1 Run, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA down to 3.63, after terrible start.
Dalbec to AAA.
Dalbec 2 for 4.
Ockimey with his 20th HR
Owings 3 for 4 (.974 OPS)
de la Guerra 2 for 4 (.942 OPS)
Houck 2 IP 0 ER (1H 1BB 2K)
Reyes 7 IP 1 ER (5H 1BB 3K)
Duran & Chatham 0-4
Casas 0-4 (.808 OPS)
